Hey,

Quick question, I have a 97 R33 GTS-t.

Up until not its been stock dump/front pipe.

A few days ago I got it replaced with a 3" turbo back...

When I got the car back there was not heat shielding at all,

no heat tape or shields.. Is this normal ?

Do I need heat shielding??

Cheers

i installed my own dump/front pipe and didnt put the dump shield or turbo shield back on. nothing wrong with it. just keeps engine bay temps down a lil. personally dont think it really effects anything.

It will still fit the turbo. They were just lazy.

I had mine off for a while when i painted them up, and the underbonnet temps skyrocket. It makes a pretty big difference.

Plus the stock turbo looks shit anyway :P

LOL!

What dump pipe did you get exactly?

I had a JJR split type originally and the turbo heat shield fit perfect with it. As it was nowhere near the dump pipe itself. But the dump pipe shield, obviously does not. As the OEM dump has brackets to support it :P

EDIT:

It looked like this

And i can 100% guarantee that the turbo shield fits!

JJR Split Front/Dump. It looks now like your photo. I can see the shiny pipe too. Previously i couldnt see any of that it had a big ugly looking shield. Maybe im confused but im pretty sure your photo is how mine stands currently? Ill take a photo shortly and post it. He said something about it not lining up anymore?

Haha couldnt get a hold of him ill try again tomorrow.

LOL!

The turbo heat shield will fit, regardless what dump pipe is on there. And yes, the photo above doesn't have the heat shield on there.

Ah yeah my bad, meant to mention that. It wasnt on in that photo for other reasons. Was figuring out what to do with the water line etc. But it was on there soon after no problems.

I had the same dump pipe installed (JJR Split), and when i got my car back, noticed that the shield was missing. I asked the guy why, and he said that the heat shield bolts onto the oem dump... making it now unusable...

Well i dont know what you guys are doing but i had my aftermarket dump pipe running with the stock heat shield for some time until i decided i hated the look of it and wanted something different.

If you didnt notice, the people saying they dont have them got them installed elsewhere. Its not their faul the place was lazy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
